Honestly , Leverkusen is playing so smooth that I wouldn't be surprise to see them in the finals or even winning it because right now they seem to be one of the first candidates alongside Liverpool to win the trophy this year.
It would be great if we could see the final between Bayern Leverkusen vs Liverpool, right? I know it's still too early because when enter the knockout round everything can change a lot, and in that round teams can't make mistakes that could result in them being eliminated, but if the two favorite teams continue to perform well then this will be an ideal final and very interesting to watch, but I still favor Liverpool to win the European League this season, maybe the feel not the same when winning the champions league but at least it's better because ending the season without a title is very unpleasant.
I had to take a proper look at it once again, Teams knocked out of the Champions League will return to the Europa League Competition.
When that eventually happens, I do doubt the both of them would still be favorites to win the Europa League Competition.
All I want to see for Bayern Leverkusen is to see them qualifying for the Champions League football next season and not remaining in this Competition for next season.
Though, I'm so sure of Liverpool going top of them group. They will face Toulouse next up immediately after the international duties week. They will end up winning all three in this first half of the Champions League games.
